Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I didn’t run for almost two weeks. At first, I didn’t mind but OH BOY was I itching to run by the weekend! I’m pretty sure that the most time off I’ve had from running in ten years is two weeks total – that was in 2018 after I dropped the shampoo bottle on my […]
Last week was short yet a long one! Some notes before getting to my workouts: Booster Shot: I got my booster shot last Sunday. It wasn’t too bad but I did take off on Monday from any type of workout. Running Mood: My mood for running returned after a week of not really feeling like […]
Happy Monday. My blog turns nine years old this week which I just cannot believe! Where does the time go? My son was only ten years old at the time but now is in college and I’m still here writing this blog? Obviously, blogs have evolved and changed so much over the years. My […]
I don’t even want to discuss how I finally made my return to using the gym in my community for the treadmill only to have the mask mandate reinstated last week. Nope, we aren’t going to discuss it. Instead, I will just tell you that I will run outdoors as much as I can tolerate […]
Lots of notes today before getting to my workouts from the week: First, you should know that I’m not looking forward to the lack of early daylight over the next few weeks now that we changed the clocks. I know it’s short-lived, but still. I’m noticing my easy effort pace when running outside is getting […]
Some thoughts from the week: * Lately, I never really know what my workout for the day will be until I am literally getting dressed in the morning. Sometimes I know I want to run but overall, I’m truly not sure when I wake up if I want to run, walk, or do a longer […]
Lots of notes for today before getting to my workouts: Every Friday like clockwork, I see an uptick in Google searches for my post, What To Eat The Night Before A Long Run. Clearly, runners all over are preparing for their weekend runs! I reread that post, which I wrote a few years ago, and decided […]
I knew my interest in running would return as quickly as it left! After last week’s workout recap, my mood for running returned and stayed for the entire week. It felt great to get in both indoor and outdoor runs with two awesome treadmill workouts that made the time indoors fly. Before getting to my […]
My workouts are pretty detailed below (great treadmill workouts included!) so I don’t have much else to add. Instead, here’s my salad and bagel combo from yesterday as I legit didn’t take any other pictures in the last week to share in this post! Unbelievable, right? I know. It was a very busy week. At […]
A few things to note from last week’s workouts: I took advantage of the milder air early on in the week, knowing it would turn colder by the weekend. Gosh, it’s cold out there now! My treadmill workouts were super solid and engaging. I’m so happy that I am eager to run on the treadmill. […]
Last week was an excellent indoor week in workouts for me! We are talking FOUR quality treadmill runs combined with three strong Pure Barre workouts. I really couldn’t ask for a better, more solid week in workouts, especially this time of year! I shocked myself when I wanted to run two days in a row […]
I didn’t run much this week (only once) but I had my reasons: On the days I was in the gym, I did not feel like running. Friday, when I could have run, I preferred to walk. Over the weekend, I had a Bat Mitzvah to attend both Saturday and Sunday, with a funeral service […]
